The Pittsburgh Pirates announced Monday morning that interim manager Don Kelly has been signed to a contract extension beyond the 2025 season.
Kelly took over as the Pirates' manager in early May, when Derek Shelton was relieved of his duties following a 12-26 start to the season. The Pirates, who went 59-65 under Kelly, also went 32-33 following the All-Star break.
The Pirates also had a 37-25 home record under Kelly, which was the ninth-best home winning percentage in all of baseball. Pittsburgh’s 3.59 staff ERA under Kelly was also the fourth-best mark in the league from dating back to his managerial debut on May 9.
